Thank you for entertaining videos

[@thegorn]

Magnus loves a happy endgame.

[@martijnheeroma5492]

after the 'blender' ;) it was 4 and a rook against 4 and a rook and Magnus loves endgames, great chess, thanks

[@raylopez99]

Mathematically, in order to keep stunning commentators you need exponential growth. This is because people become "jaded" from extraordinary performances unless you constantly outdo your previous performance. Keywords are 'satisfaction curves' or 'indifference curves' and 'law of diminishing returns'. It holds from everything from eating an extra ice cream cone to extra happiness. In fact I once saw a research paper that said to get the same "wow" as you did initially, you have to increase the performance (or the reward) by 4x over the previous effort. Do the math: it's like doubling the grains of rice on a chessboard for each square; by the time you have reached the 64th square you have more rice than is grown on the planet. Thanks for reading this far, Google scholar!

[@mendelson6052]

Nice comment. Google sucks though. It’s bloated and too powerful for the common good of mankind. We shouldn’t worship corporations.

[@lunaretic3]

Wtf do you eat butt

[@Hentai-Semite]

4x? This necessary exponentional growth is what makes life for drug addicts hell. BuT there is a tiny way to counter this trend a bit. Bhuddists call it keeping the beginner spirit

[@epicchess2021]

Interesting and good point

[@daviddurbin7682]

Astounding

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

Here in Norway we say squeezing water from a stone, which is considerably easier than squeezing blood from it, but Magnus simply excels at it, he keeps asking questions until they crack un der the pressure. Thanks James.

[@rulesnut]

Finally! An expert analysis with no drollery.

[@rickprol-pc8ds]

Agreed! There is one guy that does analysis of games and his voice is so utterly annoying I can't watch him and he's good at what he does otherwise.

[@NeilMoore]

Great game!

[@BillHimmel]

Vidit should be so proud: Magnus didn’t use „the plow“ against him, nor any other weird opening! Instead, he played classical structures! Can there be a higher compliment?

[@eus9]

The problem with the definition "brilliancy" is that it's just a great sacrifice. In this situation it wasn't really brilliant, just the best obvious move. Often the best possible move in a position can be way more impressive than brilliancies

[@klazzi6]

Just commeting for the algo, keep pumping out the amazing content my man =)

[@epicchess2021]

Thanks, will do!

[@madzilla14]

Commentators, especially our epic one (!) , are our friends ....

[@hamishmaxa6509]

Exciting that so early in the game Vidit backed himself to go toe to toe with Magnus.

[@AEVMU]

Early on, if the queen and the bishop were reversed, it would have been mate in 3.

[@MichaKurzewski]

"Botez Gambit" :DDDD

[@robertlester9566]

11:08 why does Danya refer to himself in the third person??

[@Johnny_RB]

I can not play speed chess, it drives me crazy but it is wonderful to see how Carlsen does it so well. This was a very exciting game in spite of what someone here said about it being boring.

[@ynwajft9612]

I started playing Chess today, If I join your discord would I be a GM by summer or would it be closer to Christmas? Just wanna plan out my career..

[@epicchess2021]

Probably by Easter 😁

[@swg2002]

Spicy commentary in this one. Almost as if there's some unspoken young chess pro drama afoot.🍍🍍

[@Anfield_the_place_to_be]

Like your content my friend, your videos are perfect for watching while eating a snack😅 Maybe you could do some vintage games like Morphy, Capsblanca etc. I never get tired of watching some romantic chess games😊

[@garydunning9363]

See what mood you're in after quarter finals..more than likely very happy I'm sad to say😊

[@epicchess2021]

Thanks a lot and for suggestions I’ll look at that in future

[@billeterk]

Fray?

[@krishrao2778]

He loves to bully the scaredy cats.

[@partalaiskiainen]

It's obvious what happened here. They were both playing incredibly well, but Vidit made one simple mistake: He didn't match Magnus' outfit. That outfit is fire, yo. That's worth at least +50 ELO right there.

[@GudMarty]

Here we go another chess channel starting magnus lol

[@watteau6646]

...Ng5 is not a hard move to see though, even in a time scramble. You either deflect the Nh3 and Queen with check, or take the N, and again Queen with check, or if Ng1 Kxg1 d6 Kf1 d7 and Queen with check. Heck I would have played it, and I'm a middleing club player. But of course, being so active and aggressive with all his pieces just to get there is amazing, though, b/c it looked as if White had Black's g-pawn locked up nicely.

[@MrMakhitta]

in time scramble Vivid goes wrong and Magnus doesn’t! That is the thing with Magnus he just rarely to never goes wrong in positions like this! You have to look for the opportunity with one eye, and the ticking clock with the other. To sense when a move is there and react on it instantly.. And not to forget when to sense a positional advantage is there to go for! Magnus guards his pawn with the King moving away from his other pawn on the opposite rim. If Vivids past central pawn and knight gets traded off with Magnus past pawn and knight his king might just snap off magnus’ rim pawn, and Vivid would be able to guide his own rim pawn to promotion. Will it hold up that Magnus goes all in on his past pawn or not? So many decisions to made without time to calculate! Computer says dead draw almost till the very end, and still like we seen so many times before Magnus picks the longer straw! It isn’t luck, it is a God born intuition backed up with years of experience in making the right decisions in positions like this!

[@GigiPerla]

This game was as fantastic as your enthusiasm for it. 😊👌

[@WorldCitizen333]

You're missing out on an important chess event taking place at Prague which is propelling teenagers into the top tier of world chess, and probably deciding the pecking order of the next generation of chess elite. The games you're covering are nice but much less relevant to chess fans right now.

[@epicchess2021]

Yeah thanks for mentioning, I'll have a look at those tomorrow I think, appreciate it

[@khaduong4791]

Constructive criticism: you dont need to keep up the energetic fascade all the time. If takes away from the brilliant moment at the end and leaves you breatheless by the middle of the video. Its okay to leave some mystery in tonality and expression in the beginning and build the suspense with timing and excitement as the video progresses.

[@andrewnix6480]

Seems fine to me

@epicchess2021 yeah man I really enjoy your commentary. It's fun, I just notice alot of gaffes and word ramble at times which I tend to see towards the middle of your videos. Might be an area where you can improve is all. Keep up the videos!

Ventre affamé n'a point d'oreilles. _Words are wasted on a starving man._

[@FredPlanatia]

that's not brilliancy, that's just common sense. I had a similar situation in a classical game recently and i saw the same type move pretty much right away.

[@ericdalli2]

I don't like exaggerated shouting of these commentators. It is just a blunder under time pressure. Nothing special.

[@seheyt]

squeezing water, into the fray, but "making a baby girl"? ew

[@satkinson5505]

I love to watch chess games analyzed and you quickly became my favorite analyzer. But the promo interruption in the middle of it,that you recently started is going to drive me away. Put it at the end I will be happy to listen. You are interesting and entertaining you don't need to be annoying to do a promotion.

[@epicchess2021]

Thanks a lot and for the feedback!

Why it’s all Carlsen games. You have only one kind of content. KZbinrs these days farming Magnus only. Maybe Magnus should implement a copyright or something to earn from these bohos.

[@paulbloemen7256]

This seems like a rather ordinary, even boring, game to me, with a dreadful mistake at the end: I don’t see the need for overexcited people shouting towards a microphone and camera, and who cares about commentators anyway?

[@matuspekar5159]

You gotta sell it somehow 😅

[@michaelmassaro4375]

I’m surprised Vidit couldn’t at least draw this game a win is a win tho spectacular or not but you’re right about the commentators they did sound annoying

[@soloqheroes6004]

Got to entertain the normies.

[@okcameronfilms]

Well considering that they play continuously for hours on end and the moves happen incredibly fast, with no replay, you will be excited if you were there too. Casual

[@osgubben]

You are 100% right. They sound like Levy on speed.
